I can't say that I get them twice a week but I get email notification on a fairly regular basis and I don't buy near as regularly as I once did.

Except for big ticket items, there is not much that they sell that I still need.

I have the standalone OPR with the router plate I use it for mortise work and pattern work occasionally. I built my own fence, the Shopsmith one is just two pieces of aluminum not a very for design. I would recommend getting one being able to make quick depth adjustments and seeing the bit in the work is worth it.

I have the current version of the OPR mounted as a stand alone shorty. I prefer it over either the add on Shopsmith router table over my Incra router table. The Shopsmith add on table was difficult for this clumsy fellow to use and get decent results with. The Incra set up is great except that as I age I find a preference for having then router bit enter the wood where I can keep an eye on it. Routing with the bit under the work makes me nervous. Most of my router work is done with the OPR. As I have suggested in other threads on this subject get it you will love it. Jim
